✨ Train and Route Core Features
The Dahezhinan is a special train designed for long-distance Xinjiang tours. It starts boarding at Zhengzhou and Luoyang in Henan, passes through Xi’an and Lanzhou before entering Xinjiang. The entire journey uses a ‘night travel, day sightseeing’ model. Long-distance segments are all handled by the special train, so tourists don’t need to frequently switch buses or hotels. Large luggage can stay in the dedicated compartment, and only daily essentials are needed for land tours, eliminating the hassle of moving luggage back and forth.
Compared to regular Xinjiang tourist trains, the Dahezhinan has outstanding advantages: First, all compartments have private bathrooms, so there’s no queuing for public toilets, making travel more convenient. Second, the train uses multi-layer soundproofing and noise reduction technology, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride without affecting sleep quality. Third, it has a dedicated chef team that can adjust meal flavors based on tourist needs—just inform them in advance if you prefer lighter food, so no worries about dietary habits. Fourth, the itinerary is relaxed, with ample time at each attraction, avoiding rushed schedules. Fifth, basic medical support staff accompany the group, providing timely help for any discomfort during the trip, especially suitable for elderly tourists. Sixth, the train has a multi-functional carriage with audio-visual systems, chess and card facilities, and karaoke equipment, allowing tourists to relax and have fun with fellow travelers during free time.
This route covers core attractions like Turpan in Eastern Xinjiang, Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, Nalati in Northern Xinjiang, Sayram Lake, and Kanas. In 17 days, you can visit all iconic spots in southern and northern Xinjiang in one go, without needing multiple trips to Xinjiang—great value for money.
